whereas Bach's settings of the resurrection were in the German Lutheran tradition, Händel wrote settings in 3 different traditions—Catholic (La Resurrezione), Anglican (Messiah), & Lutheran (Brockespassion). for me this aria from Händel's Brockespassion is as wonderful as anything in Bach's passions

Peter's aria "Schau, ich fall in strenger Buße" — Brockes gives him a humanity Bach never quite does.
„…dass der Fürst der dunklen Nacht, der da ich gefehlt gelacht, mög auf meine Tränen weinen."
